migrate discussion lists #213

Closed irabinovitch closed 8 years ago

irabinovitch commented 8 years ago

Migrate the mailman services running on lists.linuxfests.org from ActUSA to another provider as per #194 . If we stick with mailman it must be version 2.1.20+ to support #193. The current release as of April is 2.1.22.

@jhoblitt @jaymzh Started on some recipes for this, but Centos7 only includes Mailman 2.1.15 which is fairly old and doesn't include user-friendly DMARC handling.

Do we want to grab the source install? Build our own packages? other options/ideas?

Wow, the mailman package is part of base, which is why it isn't being updated. I haven't run a mailman install since before 2010 and the start of the python3 conversion. Typically, if I need a newer version of an existing base or epel7 package, I will first check copr and then fall back to attempting to modify the .spec in the official srpm.

I checked copr for mailman and didn't see anything that looked promising. I believe this is the latest src.rpm: http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/os/Source/SPackages/mailman-2.1.15-21.el7_1.src.rpm I will take a quick look at updating the package.

The fedpkg version is 2.1.21. There are often rpm macro changes between current fedora and el7 but some times it is easier to backport than updating an older spec file.

Completely untested

fedora rawhide package built for epel7.

@jhoblitt checkout the mailman branch on scale-chef. The rawhide package seemed to work on Centos7 without rebuilding, but happy to use yours if we think thats a better option.

I believe this is now complete.
